Bored of her life as a duchess's daughter on the moon, Caroline Callista has always dreamed of chasing the stars. But when a shooting star crash lands in her family's gardens and claims that a great danger will soon come straight to Luna's doorstep, she doesn't quite know what to think. Especially not when the star -- who answers to the name Whimsy -- is unlike any moonchild she has ever met before. Caroline is utterly transfixed. But it'll take more than the pair's growing connection to save the world she loves from the bloodthirsty monsters being released from Pandora's box. As the nights grow long and deadly flesh-eating creatures continue to ravage the streets of Starsity, what sort of magic will it take to banish monsters born from the world's darkest desires?

Humanity's salvation lies not in the future, but in the ancient past. Desperate to save a crumbling world, the US Army decides it must reinforce itself with powerful figures of myth. Its newly established Strategic Recruiting Battalion journeys back in time to recruit from Ancient Greece. There, they find Medusa and uncover a legend forged in pain and fury.

Thrust into a war between gods and mortals, Medusa finds herself responsible for turning the tides of legend.

He's simply chosen to ignore them. For years, the strategy worked-until now. Bound by a contract he can't escape, Thane finds himself saddled with a human companion, a living being he knows nothing about and never asked for. The arrangement was supposed to be a formality, a stabilizing measure for an Alpha too long without a pack. Instead, it leaves him off-balance, staring across his quarters at someone fragile, strange, and everything he isn't. He was trained to conquer, command, and survive. He was built for battle, not tenderness. Despite this the more Thane tries to ignore him, the more he notices him: the warmth of his scent, the tremor of his pulse, the softness in his eyes. It leaves him sure that this human might be the one fight he can't win-or the only one worth losing. --- ꜱᴛᴀɴᴅᴀʟᴏɴᴇ

Ardent Currents - Book 1 One lost his dream. One found his heart. In a far future, two men find their fates in each other. Jamar Devereaux I told myself that all I ever wanted was my mother's company. It's why I'm back home to study business. Deep down, I know I only tell myself this lie because I can't have my true dream. He ruined all that for me... and then the accident stole my memories. Now, Mother's managed to put us in the sights of the Union's most notorious loan sharks. And what they want just might be the end of my life as I know it. Alaric Mako I've hunted him for so long, and at last, I'll finally make him mine. Summary: In a far off, technology-driven future of corporate dynasties, news-fluencers, and ruthless debt law, two men are forced into each other's orbit-and into an arranged engagement that only one of them wants... and the other didn't expect to crave. Jamar Devereaux returned home to inherit his mother's empire. But when she defaults on a dangerous loan to the most feared loan sharks in the Union, he's forced to save her-and himself-by agreeing to marry into the Mako family, notorious for collecting their debts with blood, time, and vengeance. His fiancé? Alaric Mako: the devastatingly handsome, cold and calculating heir who's spent years watching Jamar from afar. Jamar can't remember their brief past before his accident-but Alaric hasn't forgotten. As passion flares and old secrets resurface, enemies become lovers and hunters become the hunted in a deadly game of power, trust, and desire. In this world where loyalty is hired and love is a liability, can two men rewrite destiny?
